Why did I skip lunch at Katella Deli, my other Los Al lunch choice, and end up here? Or one of a hundred or so places between my morning appointment in Culver City and home in the OC? Because at the last minute, I heard a news clip about how good spinach is for your health. I really like Sizzler's baby spinach. dotted with dried cranberries, and almond salad with sweet vinaigrette. Well, wouldn't you know it, they didn't have it, unlike the Sizzler's in Cerritos and another near the 91 and Beach Blvd. The outside of the place from Los Al Boulevard looks inviting with nice landscaping. But it's not that great inside. You smell the heavy air freshner of the bathrooms while you're in line. The clientele was mainly business people who looked bored while they were eating. And their grandparents. The fruit wasn't bad, the watermelon was sweet. At the hot buffet, I got stuck behind a sweet but slow couple in their late 80's. They stood around the chicken wings, spaghetti, and Mexican stuff forever making their choices and telling each other "I can't have that, it gives me gas, honey..." If you LOVE mayo, this place is for you. Their four main prepared salads were 1, Mayonnaise with macaroni, 2, Mayonnaise with potatoes, 3. Mayonnaise and cream with imitation krab. and celery 4. A no mayo onions and cucumber. Not great. So, at least there was the regular salad items, much less choices than other Sizzlers. Thank God their chicken wings, make your own tostadas or burritos with ground beef and pork, and Texas toast are still around. My steak lunch was cooked properly, and they gave me a fairly large piece considering it's supposed to be 6 oz sirloin. That was one saving grace. Typically, when a place serves good food, people are stuffed and smiling, but not here. I guess sometimes, we just shove buffet food down our stomachs and hope the rest of the day is better. Price is $11 or so for an $8.00 steak lunch and $3.00 extra for salad bar - drink comes with meal. read more

Recently, while in Phoenix we visited Sizzler. First time in years. Not fond of the Buena Park location. Needed revamp last time we were there. And we never thought about the Los Al location until Siri reminded us that it was our nearest location. As another reviewer said, in years past Sizzler was the in place for families to eat. Everyone gets what they want - meat, fish, salad. Nice spread of choices reasonably priced. We took our kids often. Last night we walked in during the pre-dinner rush. The place was clean. No line yet. After we were seated the rush began to fill booths and tables. This must be a local favorite for gramps, paps, kids. Salad bar very appetizing. Next time I'll get that, but last night I wanted salmon. I'd ordered from the senior menu in Phoenix (11.99). Not on the senior menu in Los Al (14.99). Soft serve ice cream station - well stocked and maintained. Sometimes by the end of the day these stations look weary and beaten down by traffic. Not so here. Everything looked freshly stocked, within easy reach. Complimentary bread. In Phoenix they served dinner rolls. Los Al served their famous cheese toast - a tasty, crunchy wave of nostalgia. Service. Meh. My husband ordered strawberry lemonade. They asked him twice what he wanted to drink and got limeade. I ordered coffee and never got a refill. Food. Hubby ordered ribeye steak. He wanted prime rib, but they don't serve that anymore. Tho' it was a tad stringy and fatty, he enjoyed his medium-rare steak. I ordered grilled salmon with baked potato without butter. Unfortunately I had to scoop a large dollop of butter out of my potato. We'll definitely go again. We'll just be a tad more explicit when ordering. read more

If I could give this place a 0000000 star they would have it. My family walked in to eat and the manager approached us and asked if we had masks. We said no how would we eat if we are wearing a mask? And he was like oh you have to have a mask. These masks are bullshit and Sizzler and your managers you will start to see how bad your business model is if you're going to base it on people wearing masks. You are now digging your own grave and will be hurting financially if you aren't already. read more

This is the first time I've been back to Sizzler since beginning of Covid. Selections at the salad bar have changed.

Sizzler is one of our family's all-time favorite place to go for an incredible meal. We tend to choose it for birthdays and other special occasions. The dinner selections are outstanding and the portions very generous, plus everything tastes amazing. Of course, as it may happen at any popular restaurant, there are rare times where we find some tiny nuance that may be a bit off, and not to the liking of one of our guests. But we have not experienced any of the negatives to the extent described by other reviewers. At any rate, even if we do find something to complain about, it never takes away from an excellent experience. To top it all off, we always have super stellar service from Leslye, a dynamo of a waitress. She makes our whole table feel like celebrities, all while being super efficient and attentive. Five stars for Sizzler and five stars for Leslye. read more

Salad (and soup) bar is back! Yay! AYCE salads and tacos or all-you-can-be-infected-with-COVID variants? I think its adorable that management believes that guests will comply with the salad bar rules (wear a mask, put on the complimentary vinyl gloves) much less that only fully vaccinated guests can go maskless. For all anybody can tell, all the maskless guests (and most were maskless) are spewing virus all over the lettuce, the fruit, and the salad dressings. and if that wasn't bad enough also the ice cream station. And if they didn't get the virus on the food their first trip - plenty more trips before they're done. Remember only half of Orange County is vaccinated and nobody can tell who is and who is not. Sure, me and my folks are vaccinated but the fewer variants that land on the foods that we put UNCOOKED into our mouths the better. Stay away from the salad bar and stay safe with the regular entree options, which my folks and I have enjoyed so much like the burgers, the fried shrimp, and the grilled salmon. Food +5 stars and salad bar virus safety negative 100 stars. read more

Food was okay, it's sizzler same for years. The concern is process. We ordered three meals then we changed a meal immediately to a salad bar. They wouldn't give me a receipt that matched what they charged me. I asked a manager and he looked at me like I was asking for his first born. The waitress proceeded to explain that since we made a change, they are not allowed to void anything. They have to just tell the cook of the change and then credit by using the coupon code. The result is that they wouldn't give me an itemized receipt that matched my charge. Finally I said, I need an itemized receipt... they brought me one from a calculator that totaled less than what they charged me?? Wonder how many people over pay?? Odd to me.. read more

Was here with family last night. Pretty quite, place was clean. Fair price, spent $84.50 plus $10 tip. All food we ordered were good except my steak was cooked very well done instead of medium as I ordered. The server was nice to replaced it. Tip: If you don't like salt in steak, tell server beforehand. The cook tend to pour a lot of it and makes all our steaks very salty, but the kids did not mind. read more

This was our first visit to Sizzler. We weren't really sure what to expect but we're surprised by the offerings at the salad bar. Service was great, portions were large, and we even felt right at home with access to the back TV! The food came out fast which didn't allow us much time to get to explore the salad bar. There were options for the whole family. It was a little tight around the salad bar, however. It wasn't super busy when we went so it wasn't too bad. Our waitress was super attentive and friendly. We even got this cute note at the end. All in All, it was a little pricey for 3 people but we also got enough food for lunch the next day! The salad bar can definitely fill you up quick.

Wow Sizzler. I haven't ate in one of them in a very long time. The place was clean and quiet. Probably because no one was there. When we came in we gave our order and went and found a booth. We were walking and noticed that the TV had the auto auction playing so we sat there. Our waitress came and got our ticket and we waited for our food and watched the cars. This is where it went south. The table behind my girlfriends left shoulder was occupied by the manager. He was eating a snack and every now and then one of the wait staff would stop by. Pretty harmless at first glance. As the night progressed and I started looking around for our food I was shocked that every time I looked at his direction he was looking at us. Our food came and he continued to look at us. I was very uncomfortable but tried to make the best of it. We finished our meal, it was ok nothing to review but ok. My girlfriend asked for a refund for the salad bar as she didn't use it. We got the refund and before we could get up the manager had left the table. This was friday night. As we were walking out to the car I brought it up to my girl and she said that's why she didn't go to the salad bar. Had I known that she saw the creepy manager and it bothered her I would have said something. I want to go back but will give them a chance to respond to this review first. If you are looking for a comfortable place to eat dinner I would pass on this place until management has a chance to review its staff. read more

I remember loving the garlic cheese toast and it was still pretty good. The waitresses were very attentive to the older patrons, which is nice, but I guess they forgot that I paid for my food too?

Wait time on a weeknight was around 15 minutes. Vibes: chill and very family friendly. Casual pizza spot, but also great for date night. Food: The crust of their pizza is very airy and doesn't sit heavy in your stomach plus it just tastes great. I ate the Garlic Paradiso with sausage, which was rich in aromatic flavors from the rosemary and creamy. It does lean more on the salty side compared to their red sauce pizzas. The meatballs are so good and I highly recommend ordering some. They're flavorful, juicy, and the tomato sauce that they are in is delicious. The salads are good too, my favorite being the Caesar, although it is on the heavier side due to the dressing. Delicious food, great service, chill atmosphere, and good parking. Can't complain!

What a great find! Born in raised in Anaheim but moved to NorCal 16 years ago, so coming back for a…read morevisit and discovering the coolest Italian family restaurant made the trip! Yelp reviews brought us in but the food, the vibe, and Lisa and her family will bring us back when we're back in town. And the music was perfect which makes the vibe too cool. We started with fried artichokes that were perfect, not too much breading and the artichokes were trimmed so you didn't get those tough leaf pieces (pet peeve!) but I would've liked a better sauce than ranch dressing like a lemon aioli or even a creamy light pesto-but I digress and they were fabulous! I had the fresh-made pappardelle bolognese special which was awesome and my son had his favorite pepperoni pizza. TIP: always look at the specials first but I got the feeling looking around that everything is good. I truly struggled with the menu for 10, ok 20 minutes because I wanted EVERYTHING! Seated right next to the kitchen was awesome as I saw all the food come out and was wrapped in fab food aromas making my choice harder. The cheesecake my son ordered was exceptional and our server gave him the works: caramel, chocolate and strawberry sauces and my boosy affogato was great and even though the were out of the biscotti, Lisa's son brought me a pirouette which was very sweet. I'm an espresso snob and this espresso had a smooth, almost sweet, smoky finish that sang to me, so to speak. Folks, if you live in the vicinity, run don't walk and go score some awesome food! Established in 1991, I was ashamed that this was not on my radar before I moved but they're stuck with us now! Go! Manga!

Must try - the appetizer platter, fettuccine Alfredo, calzone and anything with the marinara sauce. I like the artichokes as well.

So I've finally had the chance to sit down and enjoy a meal here and I was utterly blown away at…read morehow delicious everything I ordered was. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger on sourdough with onion rings and an Arnold Palmer (more lemonade than tea). God, the service from my server Sarah was amazing too. The overall ambience and atmosphere knocked me off my socks too. Absolutely shocked how juicy the burger was, then again I did order it medium rare. The highlight of my meal were the onion rings. I had the feeling that they were double battered, breaded, and then fried. Felt like I died and went to heaven as I ate those onion rings. The food gets 5 stars Onto the most important highlight of my experience eating here, my wonderful and amazing server, Sarah. She was awesome and gave me a full rundown of all of the sides, sauces, cheeses that could come with my burger. Loved her warm attitude and running commentary as I ordered. Knowing that she loved the Arnold Palmer and bacon cheeseburger with onion rings made me feel like I made the right choice. Pretty cool to have a server with similar tastes in food. Also, she helped move my walker out of the way so it wouldn't block the flow of foot traffic. Kudos to her for that too. She'll probably be my favorite member of the wait staff if I ever come back for lunch again. Overall, a sweet girl with the right attitude. 5 stars for her amazing service. Finally, the overall appearance and ambience of the restaurant made me feel like I stepped back into my childhood in the 2000s. Timeless decor and comfortable seating along with it being busy during lunch with regulars made me appreciate this place even more. The wait for my food wasn't terrible considering it was the lunch rush. If anything the time it took made everything taste better. The overall ambience and vibe of the place gets 5 stars as well. Los Alamitos definitely has some amazing restaurants and this place is an absolute gem. I'm definitely coming back.

Came here with a party of nine, they were quick to accommodate (although they didn't have the…read morereservation in the system that we had called in two days prior, and there was some visible quibble between the servers as to who was going to take us) and were more than friendly the entire time. Our glasses were kept full and they were attentive whenever we needed anything. The ambiance was clean and welcoming, with lots of televisions on with various sports on which was nice. The food was... ok... Some mistakes made on the orders, and a few in the party just weren't pleased with their orders - in particular with the fish and chips, they both said it seemed like it was frozen and whipped up quick - the texture and taste was off. My order was the roast beef melt with chillies. It came with the roast beef and chilies, but then had sauerkraut and thousand island dressing, like the chef just lost track of what he was making half way through? I lived with it as we had already waited to start eating as there was an error between salad and sandwich for another order, and I was hungry and didn't want to hold things up further. Again, they were friendly and fixed the things we brought up to them, but they just seemed like there were a lot of communication issues and things not running as tightly as they should behind the scenes.

I did notice that one of the employees had a Red Tag on his right back pocket. I consider the food to be so good that it is worth any diarrhea that might follow afterwards!

I ordered the curry chicken sandwich and wow... it was packed with layers of flavor! A perfectly spicy kick, a big juicy chicken breast, crispy fried onions, basil for and added layer, and the most delicious curry sauce. So good. I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu. The guy at the counter was super friendly and helpful. I was a little hesitant about the spice level, but he reassured me I'd like it -- and he was absolutely right. Plenty of seating both inside and outside, with a relaxed, casual dining vibe. Definitely looking forward to my next visit!

For the third consecutive year, I've been put into a position where I've had to organize a catered…read morelunch for a group of 10 to 20 people at work. Not wanting to choose one of the two eateries I chose each of the past two years, I went with The Stand to see if I can give them the 4th star that I've been trying to give them for the past year or two. The final verdict? No, unfortunately. This year, I was in a rather unique situation where I also had the option to double my party size, and The Stand had catering packages that would feed both party sizes: The Feast for 10 to 20 people, and The Big Feast for 20 to 40 people. But don't think The Big Feast is twice the size of The Feast; rather, the only difference is an additional platter of 20 half sandwiches/wraps. Otherwise, both will have a platter of 20 half sandwiches/wraps, a large gourmet salad, a large side, and a cookie/brownie platter. After much deliberation, I went with The Feast with Meyer Lemon Broccolini and a Sidekick of Chinese Chicken Chop Salad with Chips & Guac. I chose all this to avoid the need for flameless heating kits since I wasn't sure how they'd work. I was drafting an email to the catering team to add some supplementary instructions I overlooked initially, but after the FIRST15 to 20 minutes following submission of my order, Sydney from the Catering team gave me a call to ask for clarification on some details based on my email communication. Really appreciate how punctual she was at this, and she was happy enough to send out an updated invoice. However, I learned from Sydney that the Meyer Lemon Broccolini would need a flameless heating kit even though the catering website did not mention that. In fact, during my email communication prior to placing my order, I pointed out that the Meyer Lemon Broccolini and Red Ginger Green Beans weren't listed as vegetarian despite being vegetables, and they confirmed they were indeed vegetarian, but not vegan. I noticed these oversights were immediately addressed after I brought them to their attention. However, their website still indicates their cookies are vegan when they are not; I'm not going to bother with another email at this point lol. I had given them two weeks' notice for my order, knowing that the catering team can change it on their end. I didn't want just one flameless heating kit, so I decided to switch out the Chips & Guac for the Mac & Cheese, which is about $13 more. I arrived about 10 minutes before my scheduled pickup time, and I saw my catering order out in the open on a table where any customer could just grab it and go. Luckily, there were only a few customers inside, and when I stopped by my order, Kim came out to greet me. We recognized each other even 8 to 9 months after those technical difficulties spelled out in my last review update. I asked her to review my order with me before leaving, but when she said "Chips & Guac", the abstract record in my mind came to a screeching halt. I asked to see the invoice, and it was the older version from before I made the switch. I later found out they had printed my invoice too early even though their catering team said I could decide as late as the day before. Luckily, Kim checked the kitchen and needed only about 5 more minutes for the side of mac & cheese to be ready. She also let me keep the chips & guac even though she initially said she could swap it out, so that was nice at least. I also appreciate how they waited until my arrival to make a custom grilled cheese sandwich for my vegetarian guest, who enjoyed said sandwich. I also asked to put that guest's name on the box so I could tell easily. However, my abstract record cacophonously halted again when Kim asked me to pull up to the front door so they could load my order into my car. I had parked close by and previously requested for at least one employee to help me carry my order to my car. Also, I didn't want to block the right lane of the frontage road through the town center, so Kim and a team member helped carry the order to my car. My guests enjoyed the food for the most part, and I used this opportunity to invite them to visit The Stand with their family/friends on their own time (and dime lol). My order included an abundance of sauces and dressings, and I also appreciate how there were label stickers on each half sandwich/wrap in the platter. However, I would highly recommend a different means of labeling these sandwiches/wraps. As an example, I tried to grab a Chimichurri Steak Wrap only to find out it was actually a Falafel Wrap, which was the only vegetarian option in the platter. Good thing I got my vegetarian guest that grilled cheese sandwich! Lastly, if you've managed to make it to the end of this review, I'll let you know there's a discount code for customers placing a catering order for the first time. You actually read it in this review somewhere. Missed it? Sorry, I'm not giving it out like that. You'll have to re-read the review :)
